Anyone else? It’s not exactly heart-pounding anxiety, and it’s not quite hopeless depression. It’s somewhere in between there, with a heavy focus on fears related to getting older (and weaker and less independent) and a bleak outlook on the world (especially the US) in general.
I mostly ignored the aging stuff up until recently, it’s starting to catch up to me which is why I am here I guess. Bit I’ve had thst kind of feeling about reality in general for most of my life. Just a whole lot of why does it have to be this way kind of thoughts and what not. Some days I just want to give up. Also, aging, especially as a woman sucks. Glad I found this group.
Me too, had this my whole life, but meno has really amplified it for me.
